SAFETY HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT

By complying with all relevant safety, health and environmental management (SHE) legislation and obligations, the company is committed to achieve high standards of environmental performance, and implement nationally-accepted standards for occupational health, safety and environmental management.

This duty of care covers the entire life cycle of our operations, from exploration and planning to operation, closure, decommissioning, remediation and rehabilitation and post-closure care that focuses mainly on ensuring that environmental sustainability is achieved.

The objectives are to:

Provide a risk-based SHE management framework, consistent with national legislation, the Adheel Sands SHE policy, and other nationally-recognised standards that support the implementation of SHE best practice across all Adheel Sands operations.

Set out and formalise expectations for the progressive development and implementation of more specific and detailed SHE management systems at all levels of Adheel Sands operations.

Provide performance criteria against which SHE management systems across Adheel Sands can be measured.

Provide a basis from which to drive SHE continuous improvement.

Integrate SHE elements into all relevant existing Adheel Sands policies and practices. The SHE management process is driven to a large extent by well-established risk management principles. Processes and working areas are broken down into units, where baseline risk assessments are followed by issue-based risk assessments. All operational teams are trained in applying risk assessment on new projects and tasks.
